Glad you are excited about this as well. Answering some of your questions:

Can you use it with more than Grid? Yes – All HTML element should work, not just DIVs.

What happens next? Well this is still an "Editor's Draft" – Beginning of a exciting but long road! TPAC is happening this week in Lyon, France. http://www.w3.org/…/TPAC I'll probably find out more once the reps from MS return.

Thanks,

Kathy

Obviously seeing the influences from WPF/SL make there way into browser would be great. This is an important missing piece for building real applications. I noticed that all the samples used lists of divs. Can I assume that the grid element would work the same against a hierarchical structure? perhaps one using new html5 Nav/Section/Header elements? It's important that we be able to maintain the semantic meaning of the documents in it's DOM and be able to layout the elements in a flexible way as proposed by the spec. Also, what happens next? Does this have to be approved? Will Microsoft be creating a javascript library to support this immediately? perhpas a jQuery plugin? or will we have to wait for every browser to implement this individually?
